Ruthless

Camilla's entire world shattered when her husband Nick Sinclair abruptly ended their three-year marriage, hurling divorce papers at her. His cruel, harsh words still echoed in her ears... "I'm done with this marriage. Get out of my house!" She always knew their arranged marriage was devoid of love, but she had clung to the possibility that he would one day grow to love her. However, the arrival of his first love, bearing a child she claimed was his, destroyed any lingering hopes and exposed the emptiness of their relationship. Fingers trembling, heart bleeding, she signed the divorce agreement. But the shock overwhelmed her just as she stepped outside Nick's mansion and she collapsed. Hours later, she awakened in the hospital, staring into the icy blue eyes of the stranger who saved her. ... Derek Donovan, New York's heartthrob and wealthiest billionaire CEO, had been searching for a way to deflect the media's attention from his status as a sought-after bachelor. In exchange for saving her life, he proposed a contract to Camilla: pretend to be his wife for three years to keep the press and paparazzi off. With no other options and no one to rely on, Camilla felt compelled to accept the proposal and sign the contract. But as they navigated the path of their fake marriage, the lines blurred. Derek's icy facade cracked, revealing a burning passion for Camilla. As Camilla's heart wavered, a shocking truth emerged: Derek's past hid secrets, and she was now entrenched in a deadly game of wealth, power, and deception. Will she risk everything to love again, or will the shadows of her past and the danger lurking in Derek's world destroy her forever? The contract has been signed, but the real stakes are only just beginning...

Chapter 1: Camilla
"Ma'am watch where you're going!" A voice snapped at Camilla, pulling her out of her daydream. She whipped around, her gaze falling on the irritated customer she almost ran into. The man glared at her before turning away, pulling his cart along with him. "Sorry." Camilla muttered, even when she knew he wouldn't hear her. Sighing softly, she pushed her own cart towards the counter, yawning tiredly and rubbing her eyes. While she waited for her turn to pay, her eyelids drooped sleepily.If she could just get a few hours of undisturbed sleep, she would feel much better. But that was a luxury she knew she wouldn't get. Her mother-in-law had barged into her room that morning before the sun crawled up. In her high pitched voice, she ordered Camilla to get up and prepare breakfast for the entire family, because they would be having an important guest. As usual Nick, her husband, didn't say a word to stop his mother. He had never defended her nor taken her side whenever she was being mis

Chapter 2: Our marriage is over
"What?" Camilla whispered unbelievably. It had to be a dream. How did Nick have a child? Did he have an affair outside their marriage? And who was the woman? Why had she never heard about her before. "Camilla, go inside. Now." Nick ordered, turning away from her. "We will have a talk later.""No." Camilla refused, standing her ground. Gone were the days when she would meekly obey his every command. Nick had gone too far this time, and she wouldn't remain silent. Her defiance shocked both Nick and his mother. "What did you say?" He asked. "I said no." Camilla repeated. "I'm not listening to you this time. I demand an explanation. Who is this woman?""How dare you?" Mrs Sinclair snapped. She walked up to Camilla and slapped her hard across her face. "The effrontery you have, standing there questioning my son."Camilla's cheek burned from the sting of the slap, and so did her eyes. However, she stubbornly held back her tears. "All these years, I have done all I could to be a good w

Chapter 3: Saved by a stranger
The first voice Camilla heard when she gained consciousness was from a doctor. "She will be fine. She's just under a lot of stress and extremely fatigued. She will need a lot of rest."Another voice spoke out. "I was so close to hitting her." From the sound of his voice, he seemed relieved that she was okay. "You're lucky the car stopped just in time." The doctor replied. "It would have been a fatal accident. Do you know if she has any relatives we could reach out to?""We don't know her." The other man spoke again. "I was driving too fast and almost didn't see her in the middle of the road. I don't even know who she is."There was a short bout of silence, and then the doctor spoke out. "I really appreciate your help in bringing her here, Mr Donovan. I know how risky this is for you. We will get in touch with her family if they live in the city."Mr Donovan. The name sounded strangely familiar to Camilla. She waited for him to speak. He did after a while. His voice was musical, de

Chapter 4: Kissed by a stranger
Derek was driving home from a late business meeting that particular night. Usually he would let Jeremy drive him instead. Most times, he would go with a large convoy with lots of security following ahead and behind. But on this particular night, he decided to drive alone. He took the less classy car so he wouldn't draw attention to himself. He wanted to be alone with his thoughts. Painful memories plagued him, memories from the past. Memories he had succeeded in blocking out. There was a reason why women were off-limits, why he didn't have one by his side. His heart had been shattered once, by his very first love, a woman he had loved wholeheartedly. Years ago before he inherited his father's chain of companies, his fiancée had ripped out his heart and destroyed it, turning him into a cold hearted man with zero feelings. He tried not to think about that day he gave up on love, but someone had mentioned her name at the meeting earlier and all his memories came cascading back. He

Chapter 5: The man in the parking lot
The moment Derek's lips closed over hers, Camilla's entire body froze. Her eyes remained wide open in shock, her hands pinned to her side with his large palms. He was leaning over her, but he held her tightly against his chest.She stayed frozen for a few more seconds before coming back to her senses. With a deep frown, she raised her hands to push him away from her, but Derek's grip tightened. When she tried to twist her face away, he reached up and gently grabbed her hair, keeping her in place. Fortunately, Jeremy and the other workers paid no heed to them. They stepped through the front doors of the motel and disappeared inside. Relieved that he hadn't been discovered, Derek pulled back and let out a sigh. But what happened next shocked the hell out of him. Camilla slapped him. Her palm connected solidly with his cheek and he felt the sting go over his face. He even staggered slightly with the force of it. "You bastard!" She shrieked, moving away from him. "How dare you put you

Chapter 6: Don't mention her name again
"Where have you been Derek?" Lady Donovan asked the moment Derek stepped into her room. "Hello mother." Derek walked up to her and kissed her cheek. Then he stood back and scrutinized her. "You look tired. Shouldn't you be asleep already? Where's Mabel?""Her son is ill, so I let her off early." Lady Donovan replied. "The poor maid has so much on her shoulders. Lord knows she needs a break.""You can just let her go and get another maid instead." Derek suggested, walking to the refrigerator to grab a bottle of water. "Absolutely not." She snapped. "Mabel has been with us since you were a baby. She's family.""Whatever you say." Derek shrugged and took a long drink from the water. "Don't change the subject. Where have you been?"Derek sighed and turned towards his mother. Despite being in her late sixties, she remained the most beautiful woman to him. Her cobalt blue eyes were as sharp as ever despite her age, and her dark hair had streaks of gray in them. She was his entire world.

Chapter 7: The shocking news
It was almost noon when Camilla awakened the next morning. She opened her eyes and gazed at the digital clock on the bedside table. 11:48AM Surprised that she had slept in really late, she rolled over and stretched. She couldn't remember the last time she had such a good sleep. Back in Nick's house, her mother-in-law would have dragged her out of bed even before sunrise. It was so nice to be finally free. Now all she had to do was find a job that would pay well. Then rent a nice single room apartment. She would be alone, but happy and content. She pushed the covers away and got out of bed. Her nose wrinkled with distaste when she started at her rumpled dress. She needed new clothes. The men who tried to rob her the previous night had stolen her box which contained the few clothes she had and some cash. Making up her mind, she hurried into the bathroom to freshen up. Putting on the same old dress after showering was difficult, but she had no choice. Just as she was about to

Chapter 8: The scandal
Camilla felt all the colour drain from her face. Her jaw dropped open and her throat turned dry with shock. She skipped the queue and walked up to the clerk behind the counter. "Excuse me, could you please turn that up?" She asked. The young girl grabbed the remote and increased the volume and Camilla was finally able to hear the news hostess. "... turns out that Mr. Derek Donovan could indeed have a hidden lover. This has risen a lot of speculations from the people of New York, and has caused quite a stir among the young ladies who all have their hopes pinned on the handsome billionaire bachelor. Our anonymous source have made it clear that it is safe to say Mr. Donovan could be ashamed of his lover, probably because she doesn't meet the standard of the elite class, but one can also safely say that...."At this point, Camilla couldn't hear the words of the news hostess anymore. Her gaze was pinned on the large TV screen where another picture had appeared beside the first one. It

Chapter 9: You did this to me?
"You? You did this to me?" Derek stood before his mother, staring at her unbelievably. When Kyle told him that the photo had been traced to his mother's personal bodyguard, he had been in denial. She wouldn't do something so atrocious to him. But as he stood before her now, staring at her defiant expression, he realized his mother would go to any length to pair him with a woman. "Yes I did Derek, and I don't regret it." Lady Donovan said. "A mother must do all she can to help her child if that child insists on not helping himself."Derek opened his mouth to speak, then stopped and took a breath. If he spoke with the rage he was feeling, it wouldn't end well. And with his mother's fragile health, he had to be careful with her. He took another deep breath to calm himself before opening his eyes. "Have you seen the news mother?" He asked quietly. "There's a reason why I try to keep myself away from the press, and you know that reason. Which makes me wonder why you would do something

Chapter 10: The interview
A week had gone by since the photo of Camilla and Derek kissing appeared on the internet. Camilla had gotten another motel to stay, one that wasn't owned by Derek, in a quiet part of the city. Fortunately, the news and the photo had been taken down. She searched every part of the social media and the tv stations, but couldn't find it. That was when she realized that Derek must have ordered the media to take it down. He was powerful and influential, so she knew he had the connection to do so. A part of her was glad that the news was taken down. No one recognized her as the mystery woman who kissed the heartthrob of New York, Derek Donovan. But the other part was a bit annoyed. Derek didn't waste time taking it down to keep his reputation clean. Was he ashamed of her? Did he find her so classless that the mere thought of kissing someone like her was embarrassing? He was the one that made the move to kiss her! "What a jerk." She muttered, flipping through her phone. "Who does he thi
